Weekend box office numbers were the fourth worst for 2023 this weekend, with lots of the blame coming from the fact that because of the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike, Dune: Part Two did not open as it was supposed to.

That film was moved by Warner's to March 2024 when it became clear that the stars would not be able to promote the movie and probably took between $40-50 million off the table for this weekend. Overall, the box office saw $64.6 million taken in, down -49% from last weekend. Three of the worst weekend box office takes of the year have been in the last eight weeks. Foxy, Chica, Freddy Fazbear, and Bonnie in Five Nights at Freddy's, directed by Emma Tammi.

Third place goes to Killers of the Flower Moon, with $7 million. The Apple film has pocketed $52 million so far, but that film will be judged by how it does during awards season more than its gross. Fourth place went to A24 film Priscilla with $5.08 million as it expanded into over 1,000 theaters. Rounding out the top five is Spanish language film Radical, with $2.7 million. The weekend box office top five for November 3rd: Five Nights At Freddy's- $19.
